”DeSantis criticizes traditional media. Fox News doesn’t count”

“Emails from Fox to the governor’s office showed how their relationship works.”

“There are few surprises when DeSantis goes live with Fox. Exclusive events are carefully crafted with guidance from DeSantis’ team. Topics, talking points and even graphics are shared in advance.”

“The details of this staged news events were captured in four months of emails between Fox and DeSantis’ office, obtained by the Tampa Bay Times through a records request. The correspondences, which totaled 1,250 pages, show a striking effort by Fox to inflate the Republican’s profile.”

“From the week of the 2020 election through February 2021, the network asked DeSantis to appear on its airwaves 113 times, or nearly once a day.”

“Through a spokesperson, Fox News said the network “works to secure interviews daily with headliners across the political spectrum which is a basic journalism practice at all news organizations.”

In other words, what Fox did for Trump back on 2016 and 2020, they are now doing for DeSantis. Only thing missing is the phone number scrolling across the bottom of the screen telling viewers where they can contribute

The last is the funniest, “Fox News said the network “works to secure interviews daily with headliners across the political spectrum which is a basic journalism practice at all news organizations.” Last I knew, real news networks don’t prearrange nor direct “exclusives” when reporting the news

Problem for Ronnie is what happens when he has to go beyond Fox and it’s safe orchestrated theatrical “exclusives?”

Between examples as such, and the recent exposure of Fox’s primp time pimps lying, amazing how anyone anywhere would ever consider Fox as legitimate rather than a propaganda site
 
Does Fox influence anybody but the already afflicted?

Those are the very people Trump and DeSantis are fighting over, as I said, I’d wager DeSantis isn’t going to get the orchestrated ride he is receiving now if he were to win the nomination. At that time Fox will be casting him as the martyr of the big bad media

And if nominated, Fox will do the same in the general election, I’d even look for Tucker to MC some of his big events just as Hannity did for Trump

Not quite the “basic journalism” Fox labels itself
 
wake we up when they give debate questions ahead of time like cnn did for their preferred candidates

Ah, that was ten years ago, and as we saw last week, Murdoch did the exact same thing for Trump in 2016 and 2020

Got another whataboutism, least one more relevant
 
Remember folks it was the MSM that promoted Trump in 2016 because they thought he would be the easiest for Hildabeast to beat. :laugh:

Not once did it give Trump the backing of a majority of Americans.
